Description

This secluded beach retreat, nestled among the coastal tea-trees of Venus Bay, is the perfect place for a seaside getaway.

The Master Bedroom has a queen sized bed and an ensuite, the second bedroom has a queen sized bed and the third has two sets of bunks.

The huge deck out front is perfect for relaxing on the hammock or a sunset BBQ. If the weather doesnt permit being outside, we have tonnes of DVDs, Playstation and games for all ages fishing rods and sports equipment also available

You will need to bring along your own towels and all linen but other than that you should find everything you need to make your stay at Black Shack enjoyable and comfortable.

Please: No big group bookings, schoolies or Pipi hunters - this house is really suited to one or two small families.

Venus Bay

Venus Bay is a small coastal settlement, nestled in vegetated sand dunes that back onto the wild waters and golden sands of the Bass Strait coastline. Close to the township, there are five superb surf beaches that are patrolled by surf lifesavers in the summer months, as well as the state's longest sand spit at Anderson Inlet, where you can find safe, sheltered beaches ideal for families and swimming. The coastline from Venus Bay to Cape Liptrap offers visitors the chance to see an old lighthouse and native Australian plants and wildlife.

Venus Bay is central to many natural attractions in the South Gippsland area, including Wilsons Promontory National Park, which is just under an hour's drive east.

Quality, quiet, and quite cheap!Nice comfy bed in main bedroom. Great showers. Quiet spot & privacy can be had on the deck. The kitchen has EVERYTHING. (Perhaps the cleaner could put all the crockery & cutlery through the dishwasher, though, as we found this is what we needed to do) A certain person had GREAT fun with the coffee-maker, and we both got very fond of the tame magpies. Wish it had a bath, but probably not when you're on tank water :-(
Great people to deal with. Prompt replies and v helpful. Great rate for this cool house. We'll be back.

Great stayWe had a wonderful stay here. Beautiful house, loads of natural light and great facilities. Lovely and clean for a pet friendly property and the gated deck was great for our doggy who could lounge around outside in safety. Walking distance to the beach was a great bonus for us. Thanks we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Our family had a wonderful holiday, great house and beautiful places to visit or a great place to do nothing. We loved the quietness, the only sounds at night were the waves crashing. Thanks "Life's a Beach"
